You presume too much Charles. Read the chapter numerous times, more than the several times I've read all 3 volumes of Capital and the twice of read TSV, if anybody's counting. And I have paid attention to it.
My lack of agreement with a particular (mis)interpretation does not mean I'm not paying attention. I think if you go a bit further in your reading of Marx, maybe beyond Volume 1, you might find more interesting comments on the origin of capital... If you pay attention that is. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2007 6:07 PM Subject: [PEN-L] What Marx meant by primitive accumulation > And just to make sure no call goes without a response-- my reply to LP's > blog: > > Note that Marx says: "England at the end of the 17th century, they > arrive at a systematical combination, embracing the colonies, the > national debt, the modern mode of taxation, and the protectionist > system."
